QBasic

[SonicIce]

Anyone remember QBasic? Can you run qbasic programs on xp vista? and compile them?

that's the version of Basic that came with Dos 3.3 ? got a sealed copy somewhere in the living room.

so yes, i remember it, but, i don't know if it runs with XP or Vista. but, Bill Gates is a big Basic fan, so i would think it does.

i would guess it should have no problems running under xp and vista 32-bit. pretty much all dos programs ran on all versions of windows except for the x64 counterparts. x64 window's OS's do away with 16bit compatibility and thusly foobaring almost all older DOS programs

if it doesnt. why not re-write it in VB.net or something? shouldn't be hard...

There's always dosbox + your favorite qbasic interpreter.

I assume it would work, but you never know...

I've used QBASIC on Windows XP.
